Olley & Jane

Jane returned this to me & I added the star after sewing down the edges of the arrows - green is my favourite colour & Jane has added green highlights in her water colour. Very cool, soothing colours. Thanks Jane.



'Hands' was sent to me by Jane Gray to alter. Again another pretty card.

'Hands - Can You See Them?' Wow this was fiddly & it took me 2 nights to complete. (The front)

The back - my sons thought it was fun to photocopy their hands & my daughter photocopied her face! Before any 'stern' words came out of my mouth I decided I could use them in my art work.



Oh My God!!! This postcard thing & the blog site sure does keep you from going to bed at night. As you can see I have posted this after midnight, after I finished Janes card, after I had dinner with Kym to celebrate her 40th birthday (Happy Birthday Kym for the 30th) , after I worked all day putting a sale together in my shop. And to tell the truth I could go back out to my room, put Sade, Dido or Norah Jones on & get started on the next one. Hope you're all enthused like me 'cause round 2 starts in 10 days time!!!! Happy Creating, Olley.
